L.I To create a kowhaiwhai pattern to represent summer
Today I learnt that when it is very hot and the air is shimmering Tānerore performs the haka for his mother, Hine-Raumati. This happens in summer as the land heats up. Our challenge was to think about this while we designed our own kowhaiwhai pattern to represent summer. My pattern shows the heat of the sun. I found this activity fun because I made my own designs.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your awesome kowhaiwhai pattern! I really like that you’ve used a variety of contrasting colours that make it stand out. I especially like that you’ve put the bright green koru right in the middle.
It’s so cool that you included that it represents the heat of the sun! What made you choose these colours to recreate summer?
I’m glad that you enjoyed the activity and that you shared what you learned about Tānerore and his story! What advice would you give to someone making their own kowhaiwhai pattern for the first time?
Ngā mihi nui and well done - I can’t wait to see more of your blog posts!
